xxv - Run
PetrichorThe loud crash as my front door was kicked open left me in a panicked state. I grabbed at Chanyeol's arm and pleaded at him with my eyes, hoping he understood that we needed to GET THE HELL OUTTA THERE.
He responded by pushing me with the backpack in my arms towards Jongin, nodded at us and then turned to face the door without saying a single word. Jongin leaned down and grabbed my shoulders, "Close your eyes," he murmured. I did as I was told. "Ok, you can look now."
He'd teleported us to the lobby and motioned for me to get out of the building, "I'm going back for Chanyeol, so go outside but check first if there's any more of the bad guys before you go," he instructed, "Just wait for us outside."

"Of course I am," came his voice. Chanyeol and Jongin had materialised a few metres away from me, and they came towards me with satisfied looks from what I could see in the dark. "The thugs think we're in my apartment. I made sure that they didn't touch your stuff," he said.
At that point, I also wondered how Jongin knew where to teleport to. "Oh, that's easy. It's because he's been here multiple times. Remember? He did live here t
